Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons with different numbers of neutrons, hence they have different masses.
the natural abundance of these elements vary, we are given percentages in which these isotopes exist.
average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic mass of an atom relative to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom. the average atomic mass can be calculated by taking the sum of the masses of isotopes multiplied by the respective abundance percentage 
average atomic mass = (235.044 amu x 80%) + (<span>238.051 amu x 20%)
                                   = 188.04 + 47.61
                                   = 235.65 amu
the average atomic mass is 235.65 amu </span>

Morphine is a well known pain killer but is highly addictive. The lethal dose of morphine varies from person to person based on
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.252 milimoles

Explanation:

To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.

The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:

C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol

H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol

N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol

O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.

204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>

Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:

0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles

As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:

2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>

are either positively charged or negatively charged species in which the number of protons and electrons are not equal. ________
fredd [130]

Answer:

1. Ions are either negatively or positively charged species in which the number of electrons and protons are not equal.

2. The chemical bond that arises due to the sharing of electrons is termed a covalent bond.

3. The positively charged ions are called cations, which comprise more protons than electrons.

4. An example of a polyatomic anion is the hydroxide anion.

5. The system of assigning an unambiguous name to a compound is called nomenclature.

A chemical engineer must calculate the maximum safe operating temperature of a high-pressure gas reaction vessel. The vessel is
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

The maximum safe operating temperature for this reaction is equal to 895°C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Width of cylinder = 22 cm.
  • Height, h = 26.4 cm.
  • Maximum safe pressure = 6.30mpa.
  • Mass = 0.537 kg.

<u>Scientific data:</u>

  • Ideal gas constant, R = 8.314 L-kPa/Kmol.
  • Molar mass of of dinitrogen monoxide (N_2F_2) gas = 66 g/mol.

Radius, r = \frac{width}{2} =\frac{22}{2} =11\;cm

<h3>How to calculate the maximum safe operating temperature.</h3>

First of all, we would determine the volume of the stainless-steel cylinder by using this formula:

V=\pi r^2 h\\\\V = 3.142 \times 11^2 \times 26.4\\\\

Volume, V = 10,036.81 cm^3.

In liters, we have:

Volume, V = 10.04 Liters.

Next, we would determine the number of moles of dinitrogen monoxide (N_2F_2) gas:

Number \;of \;moles = \frac {mass}{molar\;mass}\\\\Number \;of \;moles = \frac {537}{66}

Number of moles = 8.136 moles.

Now, we can solve for the maximum safe operating temperature by applying the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT\\\\T=\frac{PV}{nR} \\\\T=\frac{6.30 \times 10^3 \times 10.04}{8.136 \times 8.314}\\\\T=\frac{60541.2}{67.6427}

T = 895.02 ≈ 895°C.

13) "..From the ___" My guess would be Sun since it says solar later in the question. Then an example of solar energy would be flashlights, thermostats (etc..)

14) Mechanical 

16) Conductors, (Ex. copper, metal) 

17) Insulators, most non metallic materials (Ex. cloth, or rubber, plastic)

18) Electrocution
